Abstract: A glove-like support for maintaining and positioning an arm during arthroscopy, comprising: a hand portion including at least two spaced apart attachment devices for attaching the glove-like support to an external support, each attachment device positioned at substantially a distal end of the hand portion; a wrist portion associated with the hand portion, the wrist portion being of sufficient width so as to support the weight of the arm without disrupting the blood support to a hand connected to the arm; a locking device associated with the wrist portion to cause the wrist portion to be tightly associated with the wrist of the arm; and a load distributing device extending substantially from the attachment device into the wrist portion to evenly balance, distribute and transfer the forces necessary to position and maintain the arm during arthroscopy between the attachment device and the wrist portion when the glove-like support is attached to the external support.
